During the period of probation, a plan is developed which may include substance abuse treatment, academic education and/or vocational training, employment, parenting skills, and other life skills.

Probationers are required to report to their assigned probation officer monthly or more often and submit to drug testing on a regular basis.

Probationers are required to pay monthly supervision fees to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections in the amount of $20 and $40 to Oklahoma County Community Sentencing. Restitution is ordered by the court on a case by case basis.

Eligible offenders are provided access to programs and services and assisted with bus vouchers and a variety of other agency referrals for quality of life.

During the Spring of 2013, an Employment Specialist was hired in order to assist probationers in maintaining employment and identifying enhanced training and employment opportunities. Networking with employers and identifying potential resources are paramount to the success of this endeavor.
